London Eyes by artist Liam Vertti text "all songs"
Liam Vertti about his songs like London Eyes and Nowhere

“Nowhere” and “London Eyes” live in the same universe, but they speak from different wounds.

“Nowhere” was born from a place of emptiness, that quiet, aching moment where you’re searching for love not because you’re ready for it, but because you feel like you’re disappearing without it. 

It’s the kind of longing shaped by movies: laughter, soft touches, someone who saves you from yourself, but in reality, you’re wandering through the world looking for warmth in all the cold places.

In Nowhere, the searching becomes a cycle, beautiful on the surface, devastating underneath. You’re chasing an ideal, trying to turn sadness into something else, trying to feel alive through someone else’s presence. And no matter how far you go, you end up exactly where you started: “going and going and going nowhere.”

Nowhere it’s the soundtrack of a heart that hasn’t found home within itself. 

“London Eyes,” on the other hand, is what happens when the search finally leads you to someone, but not someone who heals you. Someone who mirrors your wounds, someone who knows exactly where your softness lives and how to press it.

It’s the aftermath of loving from scarcity. Because when you look for love from loneliness, you often walk into relationships that are fragile, manipulative, addictiveYou meet people who feel like destiny but act like danger.

In London Eyes, we find a “Killer,” not in the literal sense, but in the way certain lovers can destroy you with their tenderness, the way beauty can be sharp, the way passion can blur into control. 

Both lovers are “killers,”
two hearts bruised in different ways,
two souls dancing on the edge of obsession and fear.

The verses live in uncertainty:
“my love, are you scared? (…) ‘cause I’m scared too of losing you.”
And just when the truth becomes too loud, desire interrupts:
their touch feels like love,
their arms feel like home.
not because they are, but because the illusion is strong enough to keep you there.

By the second verse, the truth is undeniable:
“Killers are not lovers, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know (…) ’cause I was just the same with you.”

It’s the realization that both people are trapped in a beautiful, destructive ritual, one where the intuition whispers “leave” and the chemistry whispers “stay.”

“London Eyes” is the soundtrack of a toxic love that shines and wounds,
a romance dressed in velvet and shadow, where desire hides the danger and the danger feels like love… but it’s not.
